Just a mini-oneshot...I was wondering, where do the logs come from when the Replacement Jutsu is used, and viola! This fic was born.

Summary: Where do the logs for the Replacement Jutsu come from?

Hatake Kakashi was worried about his student. Specifically, the orange-clad, blue-eyed blond student. Uzumaki Naruto.

There was really no reason for him to be so quiet; they had just defeated two missing nins who wanted to kill Tazuna, their client. And besides, Naruto was never quiet. He was always trying to bring attention to himself, or trying to get Sakura, another student of Kakashi's, to go out with him. Although Naruto was never successful with the latter.

And so, Kakashi did what any good teacher would do; he pulled Naruto aside, and asked him what was wrong.

At first, Naruto just stared at him. Then he asked, "Where do the logs come from?"

Bewildered even more then usual by his student, he intelligently said, "Huh?"

"You know," Naruto elaborated, using his hands for exaggeration. "When you use the Replacement Jutsu, where do the logs come from?"

Kakashi's single eye widened in realization. Oh…

"Well, Naruto…" Kakashi began. "When the Replacement Jutsu is used, unless the user has a specific object in mind, the jutsu will take the closest log and replace the user with it."

Naruto blinked owlishly, and asked, "But what if a log is too far away?"

Kakashi's eye curved slightly, a sign that he was smiling underneath his mask. "Well, every ninja village tries to keep logs around, hidden in the vicinity."

Skepticism graced Naruto's face. "So, what, are you saying Konoha has it's own log supply?"

"Yup! ♥"

And so, Kakashi walked back to the rest of the team, leaving a rather confused Naruto in the dust.
